@ArtinAmerica Leon Polk Smith claimed to be Cherokee, but to my knowledge, zero proof exists to support that claim. There are so many Indigenous artists out there and who were working at the same time as Polk. Why highlight an alleged ethnic fraud?

@emleiker Ironic you question Christobal’s choices when you ranked Texas ahead of Oklahoma. They are equally perplexing and boneheaded.

@saracress Small? DAM is one of the largest art museums (by exhibition space) in the country. Did you go to the other building across the bridge/street? There is about 120,000 sqft of exhibition space in just the one building. I hope you come back to see more.

@OU_Softball @_tiarejennings No it’s not. One is a winner and is advancing with her team. The other is a loser and is headed home.

I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

@DENAirport They are grotesques, not gargoyles. Gargoyles redirect water off of roofs away from a building’s foundations (usually through the mouth). All gargoyles are grotesque. Not all grotesques are gargoyles.

Just a reminder to college football recruits: @LincolnRiley makes dry brisket. He uses the same excuse “we’re close” when judging cooking times and ends up serving up something unpalatable.
